Method for Representing an Environmental Region of a Motor Vehicle with Virtual, Elongated Distance Markers in an Image, Computer Program Product as Well as Display System

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one position of the distance marker in the image symbolizing the real distance in the image relative to the representation of the motor vehicle in the image is determined only based on a combination of (i) the at least one dimension of the motor vehicle and (ii) the calibration.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least two separate distance markers, which each symbolize an individual distance, are represented in the image, wherein the distance markers are represented differently in color and/or structure.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one distance marker is represented as an overlay in the image.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein a position and a geometry of the distance marker in the image are co-changed based on a change of the perspective of the virtual camera.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the type of the representation of the distance marker can be set by a user.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein in addition to the representation of the elongated distance marker symbolizing the real distance, a value of the real distance is represented in the image.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the image is represented as a two-dimensional (2D) top view of the motor vehicle and the environmental region.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the image is represented as a three-dimensional (3D) view.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein a position and/or a geometry of the distance marker in the image is changed based on a change of the perspective of the virtual camera.

13. The method according to claim 1, further comprising representing in the image at least one arrow between a location on the elongated distance marker and a location on the motor vehicle, the arrow being perpendicular to the elongate distance marker.
